Marimekko x Converse 2012 Fall
Tags: Converse, Marimekko

For the Fall, Marimekko and Converse once again team up for some collaborative sneakers. And once again, each print has a special story:
The Papajo print was created by designer Annika Rimala and was inspired by carvings found in Maya temples while the Kippis print designed by Maija Louekari was inspired by the idea of decorating a porcelain mug with drawings of crystal glasses to make it perfect for serving celebratory drinks. One of Marimekko’s most popular prints, Unikko, was originally designed in 1964 by Maija Isola as a protest to Marimekko founder Armi Ratia forbidding Marimekko designers from creating floral prints as she felt that flowers would always look more beautiful in nature. The Pirput Parput print was designed by Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi and gives a pop of color to the classic Chuck Taylor All Star silhouette.
The sneakers run for $90 and are now available at premium Converse retailers.

Converse (Product)RED ‘Leather Jacket’ All Star
Tags: Converse, sneakers

One of the latest sneakers from the Converse RED line of sneakers is a new pair of All Stars, which have been dubbed the Leather Jacket. The upper was made to resemble a motorcycle jacket and comes complete with a quilted lining, heavy-duty zips and snaps. They’re a bit pricy, going for $200, but at least some of it goes to a good cause. You can get it now through Converse’s webshop.

Comme des Garcons x Converse Chuck Taylor
Tags: Comme des Garcons, Converse, sneakers

Finally a Converse collabo that has my interest. The brand got together with Comme des Garcons, on a Chuck Taylor Hi and Low in two colourways each. As can be expected, Rei Kawakubo didn’t over complicate things this time around either, and simply placed the trademark heart on the side of the shoes. They begin releasing this month at Comme des Garcons’ New York, Paris, London, Hong Kong, and Seoul stores. Come October, they will be available at select Converse retailers.
